1354239 2013-09-24 23:26:00 I'm confused, why randomly tap the screen on a smartphone? :/ inphinity (7274)
1354240 2013-09-25 00:07:00 The device will go to sleep or dim its screen after a couple of minutes of inactivity to save battery. So you end up touching the screen every now and then so it registers activity and restarts the timer. Slankydudl (16687)

Considering screen-on time is the #1 usage of battery for most people (Which is the #1 gripe most people have, short battery life with smartphones), I'd say yeah, it's actually incredibly smart of it to try and save your battery life.

Oh, yeah, turning the screen off when not in use, sure. Turning it off while in use? Yuck! Stuff that :P

Mmm... true, though it is usually because I am multi-tasking, eg chatting to someone, writing down notes, watching TV, etc etc.
